Just recently fitted some new discs and pads to my focus rs and they squeak quite badly, anyone else have the same probs, if so have you managed to cure it?
Thanks

 

did u put any copper grease on the back of the pads? not the friction material side as it would make braking quite tricky

also did you clean the caliper from the brake dust

oh and what pads/disc combo did you use

Yes put copper grease on the backs and cleaned the calipers.
Got the pads from Graham Goode and discs came from my mate who works in a parts place they are genuine ones tho......

 

Give it a few miles and it may go away - when i fitted my AP 6 pots got slight squeal for approx 100miles but after that they were fine

 

go mad with a bit of brake cleaner spray and see if it helps...failing that...as alex said...give it a while and it might go away

ok will do, thanks for your help

 

A trait of the brembos im afraid.



Get some APs.....that should sort it I hope!!!!!!!

 

Mine does this all the time - drives me round the bend! Just turn your stereo up like I do!

 

strange though as mine have never squeeked since i owned the car

Mine squeek like hell! Propper WRC style, same calipers as Evos but the FRS disks are 5mm bigger, and they do the same!
